| Quote:To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.[Victor Hugo] Quote:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:Jim Bakker spells his name with two k's because three would be too obvious.[Bill Maher] Quote:I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.[Mark Twain] Quote:It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.[Andrew Jackson] Quote:Nothing you can't spell will ever work.[Will Rogers] Quote:I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
